ohio is really critical to this race. no republican has ever been elected president without it. this is a place where president obama has really targeted to try to take it off the table for romney. but when you look at the combination of states that romney has got to put together to get to 270 elect roral votes romney is behind in all three of those right now. he's looking to the debates and he's looking to some intensive campaigning with paul ryan to tray to make a difference. >> john, i heard a report on npr this morning talking about gary johnson, the former governor of new mexico, who's going to be running -- i think he's on the ballot in something like 47 states. you don't hear much about his campaign. you don't expect that it would make a difference too many places, but in some polls he's picked up as much as 6% of the electorate. do either the democrats or the republicans really give this much thought? >> i think republicans are a little more concerned. remember, gary johnson was an elected republican governor, and when you look at that strong libertarian chunk of the ele

of losing, from my perspective on the ground and what i see at home across the country it's a tight race and we're going to run this thing through the tape and in the end i believe in 42 days you'll see mitt romney pull ahead and win this thing. >> virginia is an important state. what is the swing factor, what are people watching closely? >> look, listen, our economy and unemployment numbers in virginia tend to be a little better than average but one thing that is particular and specific to virginia are these looming defense cuts. we have a very rich heritage of participation in the defense of our country in the commonwealth and with the ability for us to go forward as a country, virginia plays a very important role and when you see the president refusing to get involved with substituting these defense cuts it will have a real impact on the communities across our commonwealth and it means real jobs and it will mean real layoffs and i believe that will end up winning virginia for a while. >> it's interesting, though, if you're looking at this as a voter, could you pick anybody to blame fo

>> he has to -- this race is about the economy and jobs. that's what people care about. and i think one of the distractions for the romney campaign has been that they have not been able to really pound that message day in and day out. if they can come back to that, it will be successful for them. >> what did the president have to do, beyond look presidential, i imagine? >> both of these guys have to play offense. so it is not going to be sort of a run out of the clock opportunity for either guy. the president isrd shal. he is the commander in chief, so he doesn't have to look it, is he it. he is it. mitt romney is a good debater, the president is a good debater. there will be no knockout punch but they'll have to be solid in order to move the ball down the field. >> we saw a clip in the previous segment from fox over the weekend with ryan and the big issue was the details on the tax plan. how much more in terms of details do you expect we'll learn from romney and by the way, are we going to learn any more details in terms of what president obama's planning to do? i'll go

there is the states that are just going to move with the direction of the race, right? which is florida, virginia, colorado, nevada. these are the four closest states. coming up on the outside with wisconsin. and then you have sort of the next three in the battleground which are iowa, new hampshire, and ohio. but florida in particular -- if you look at the three we did. i call it the mega state of flova, you get what i did there f-l-o-f-g-a. any of the battleground states we've done all yearlong. so it's not just that he's down a point, he's probably in the best position there than any of the battleground states outside of north carolina. >> i keep hearing people say that mitt romney's advisers think he can't do this unless he wins both florida and ohio. you know these electoral college votes, you know the map better than about anybody, is that what you think too? >> no, i actually think they have a tough decision to make. and when you're in business and the business background of mitt romney, he's going to have a tough decision to make in a week, and that is, do you pu
